DIZCLAIMER: Meh

"STOP!" SHIZUKA YELLED, "STOP IT, RYUJI! PLEASE STOP!"

Ryuji grabbed Bakura from his collar and threw him to the ground. "Just STAY the HELL away from me, you hear?!"

Shizuka ran towards Bakura and helped him up, "Ryuji…you-you monster…" she gasped.

Anzu burst through the door, "What's going on?" she asked. She saw trying to catch his breath. Bakura on the floor wincing in pain, while Shizuka, who had tears running down her face, try to help Bakura up.

Anzu turned to Ryuji, "What did you do?!" she said her tone hard.

Ryuji didn't reply. He only walked out of the room. "B-Bakura…a-are you okay?" Shizuka whispered.

"What's going on?" Anzu repeated, "Why did Ryuji threw Bakura on the floor?"

For a moment, no one responded, Anzu groaned, "Dammit all!" she cried, "This is Yugi's birthday! It's supposed to be a fun and happy day!"

A few weeks ago, Shizuka, Mai and Anzu decided to hold Yugi a surprise birthday party at Anzu's house. They had also informed Honda, Bakura and Ryuji. Earlier today, Shizuka had arrived with Bakura (Anzu suspects that they are going out) and moments later, Ryuji arrived with drinks. Anzu, decided to leave Shizuka, Bakura and Ryuji to finish the decorations while Anzu went to the convenience store to pick up last minute things. When Anzu arrived, she heard screaming and thumping's against the wall.

Bakura's lips trembled. "B-Bakura?" Shizuka said her voice trembling.

The three of them heard the door open, Mai entered the room, "Hey, everyone!" she began cheerfully, once she noticed the faces Mai asked, "Uh…is this a bad time?"

Bakura then shook his head, "I guess I no longer have a choice, huh?" he muttered darkly.

"What?" asked Anzu and Mai simultaneously.

Shizuka placed her hand on Bakura's wrist. At this sight, both Anzu and Mai couldn't help but to blush. Could it be that Ryuji found out about the feelings of Bakura and Shizuka? Is Bakura going to confess to them that he and Shizuka have been going out? It would make since now as to why Ryuji fought with Bakura. He must have taken the news hard.

Bakura took a deep breath, "Ryuji…found out…" he began, "About…my feelings…"

Tears started swelling up on Bakura's eyes, Shizuka embraced him, "It's okay, you don't have to tell them…"

Bakura pushed Shizuka gently away, "I have to. I want to."

He took another deep breath, he did not look at the women's faces, "S-So…I guess t-the first thing you all should know…is that…I'm g-gay."

"W-WHAT?!" all three women exclaimed.

"B-But I thought you like Shizuka!" Mai exclaimed pointing at Shizuka.

"I thought you guys were going out!" Anzu cried.

"I knew it! That explains so much!" Shizuka shouted, as she embraced Bakura again. Bakura gave them a weak smile, "I'm glad you guys took it so well. I'd thought you'd look at me weird…"

This, wasn't what Anzu, or Mai had expected. They had always assumed that Bakura had a thing for Shizuka, since they seem so close. Shizuka, on the other hand, didn't seem to surprise by the news at all. in fact, it looked like she had expected it. How long had Shizuka suspected it? Since Battle City? Damn, that pretty much tells Anzu and Mai something…

Mai held up her hands, "But wait…what does this have to do with Ryuji?" she asked

At this, Bakura blushed, "Well…the thing is…Ryuji had his suspicions for a while now. I think he always known I'm gay and may have suspected that I was in love with someone. He wasn't sure who…until I told him today….that I'm in love with him."

"Wait a sec…" Anzu said, "How in the world did this happen?"

"Well, Shizuka went to look for some tape. Ryuji and I were in the room blowing up balloons and that's when he asked me if there was someone I like…and…and I wasn't thinking straight!(A/N: No Pun intended) I-I just-I suddenly tried to kiss him! And that's when he punched me." Bakura finished quietly.

"It's okay, Bakura," Anzu said gently, "I'm sure he didn't mean it. You… you just gave him a bit of a shock!"

Bakura rubbed his now swollen cheek, "But still…it hurts though…" A tear ran down his cheek.

"We can go get you some ice," Shizuka said. She helped Bakura get up. Anzu nodded, "I'll got get the ice and towel ready…" They left the room, except Mai, who was in deep thought.

Another memory formed in her mind.

Bakura sat before her, as Mai took another drink from her punch. Bakura was tense, ever since the party started Bakura hasn't said much.

"M-Mai?" he began.

"Yeah?"

"Can I tell you something?"

"Shoot,"

Bakura hesitated, "Please…promise me not to judge me too harshly…"

Mai laughed, "Judge you? Why would I do that? We're friends!" She took another drink.

"Please Mai, I mean it." he swallowed, "I haven't even told Shizuka…"

"So am I," Mai replied, "Whatever you say to me, will stay between you and me…"

Bakura hesitated, trying to figure out whether he should trust Mai or not.

"I'm in love with Ryujji…" he said.

Mai mentally slapped herself. She knew! She knew all along! Bakura had told her seven months ago at the party! What…what in the world made her forget? How come nobody remembers?

Damn…she had no other choice…did she? There was only one person who would have all the answers to the questions.

Haha! WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAT?! I bet NOBODY was expecting that! hahaha! Evil me! Mwuahahahahahahaha! So now what? One down and five more guys to go! So, does anyone have any idea who the daddy is? :3
